Wonderful Washington – Part 2
And so it was nearly time for us to move into central Washington. But first we met Brownie who was the dog of our Good Shepherd host, Renee, in Perryville where we rehearsed. Brownie was very interested in our rehearsals. Then on Sunday we sang mass at Good Shepherd church before we sadly had to […]
Wonderful Washington
We start our story off before we even start packing. Knowing that this trip to Washington included a show that was going to be filmed, our hard work started learning our parts way before a plane was mentioned. Some of the music in this show was new to us, and with new music comes more […]
USA in the Spring
After a long flight, we touched down in Newark at midnight. An hour and a half later, the coach pulled in at our final destination – Americas’ Keswick! Some of our Libera ancestors had stayed here when we sang in the Yankee Stadium when the Pope came to New York. We woke early the next […]
Phancy Philippines Part 2
Welcome back, dearest person who wishes to enlighten upon the topic of Libera. Before our show in Manila, we were lucky to enjoy some swim time and relaxation. Of course on tour we’re not singing 24/7, and enjoying the weather of the Philippines is only one of the many benefits of coming over. There’s always […]
Phancy Philippines – Manila
Usually in these blogs we talk about things completely different. But seeing as this is now our fourth consecutive time in the Philippines, I thought there would be nothing at all to write about. I was wrong. Of course everyone in Libera loves it here. Before the tour, when news broke out of another trip […]
Interesting Ireland – North and South – Part 2
After the week of rehearsing was over, it was time to travel to Northern Ireland and Armagh for the show. Back to a hotel in the precinct of The City of Armagh. We’ve sung in Armagh before, but we’ve never stayed there. Across the city we could see the beautiful Armagh Cathedral, standing tall at […]
Interesting Ireland – North and South – Part 1
Long time no see! As we all return to our many schools in south London, the summer closes to an end. Many boys are starting their new lives in English secondary school, but we’re not dealing with that now. I’m here to talk about our tour of the wonderful Ireland. Preparations for the tour were […]
Kool Korea
Bring on South Korea. Our time in the capital, Seoul, started really when we were on a coach to go and have something to eat, and we passed loads of cool sights including our second venue, the Sejong Arts Centre. Eventually we stopped at a nice Fish and Chips restaurant where no one actually ate […]
Terrific Taiwan 3
And so. The final blog begins. Taiwan is of course an amazing place. But one of the things we haven’t mentioned is the fact they have some really amazing people too. One free day, we found ourselves visiting the Paiwan school, a coach journey away. We saw our first sights of the Taiwu Elementary school, […]
Terrific Taiwan 2
Now, where were we? Ah yes, I remember. It came to the first concert day, and everyone was well rested before the first performance of the tour. We’d all recovered from any travelling aches or hungers, but just to be sure we’d give the best performance we could, we spent most of that day resting […]
